I went to downtown Brooklyn this morning, thinking to combine a trip to the bank with a stop at Sahadi. The bank business was quick and easy, and the teller praised me for having kept my savings bond until it matured (actually after, and they keep accruing interest). All I actually needed at Sahadi was cinnamon tea and tomato paste, but I bought an assortment of dried fruit and some cookies.
What I'd forgotten when I set out is that Thursday is a Greenmarket day at Brooklyn Borough Hall. I wandered, and tasted, and shopped: plums and peaches and raspberries, tomatoes and green beans. Things tasted and not purchased included a Bartlett pear (it was very nice, but I couldn't find a ripe one on the table, and I'm going to be waiting a day on the peaches), husk tomatoes (like tiny cherry tomatoes, peel and eat, I wasn't impressed), cantaloupe (pure greed, since I knew I wouldn't be carrying one home), and a Spartan apple (a variety new to me, which I didn't care for). I could have had four kinds of mushrooms--but when to cook them, since![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude is allergic?--many sorts of apples and squash, onions and bell peppers and garlic (which are about the total of vegetables we had in the house when I set out this morning), cider and baked goods. A cornucopia, limited only by what I can use and carry. I do wonder what the pear pie would have tasted like.
